Two Twisted crowns

Elspeth must confront the weight of her actions as she and Ravyn embark on a perilous quest to save the kingdom in this incredible sequel to One Dark Window, from the queen of gothic romantasy.

Gripped by a tyrant king and in the thrall of dark magic, the kingdom is in peril. Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last—and most important—one remains to be found: the Twin Alders. If they’re going to find the card before Solstice and set free the kingdom, they will need to journey through the dangerous mist-cloaked forest. The only one who can lead them through is the monster that shares Elspeth’s head: the Nightmare.
